Invest Faithfully | Serving

Join the mission of making disciples by serving God and others.

Make an impact!

Serving is at the heart of everything we do! Serving the Lord is not only important, but it’s also a fun and easy way to get plugged in and connected to others. With opportunities in the church and in the city, there’s something for people of all ages, including children and teens.

Volunteer leaders are vital in reaching people for Christ, impacting our city, and growing as believers. We’d love to have you join one of our teams!

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.

- 1 Peter 4:10
